Fun Midweek Exercise - How many Cards have you gotten?
Obviously yesterday I shared the exciting news of being approved for my 80th card as a churner. (This does not include the Discover card I got back in 2002 as I wasn't churning then). I'm sure we have some other VERY prolific churners, and others just starting out who are proud of their accomplishments so far. If you aren't able to answer this question - perhaps this is a good time to sign up for an Experian.com free account or CreditKarma and figure out just how many cards you have gotten!
Gotta keep that spreadsheet up to date
Here's a list of questions to answer if you want to participate:
1) When did you begin churning?
(feel free to expound on this a little bit if you have details to share)
I think I'm ready to play:
I got my first card CSR 100,000 points in Oct 2016 when I read about it on TUG (Timeshare Users Group) and started to deal with FOMO.
2) Are you in 1 player mode or 2 player mode?
We are actually in 3 player mode, however with some difficult financing with DHs dairy farm his options have been more limited.
3) How many cards have you gotten total?
(and how many for each player if you are in 2 player mode?
P1 (me) 6 personal and 7 Business
P2 (DH) 4 personal and 2 business
P3 (DM) 5 personal and 1 business
4) IF APPLICABLE: What is one card you have gotten that is somewhat peculiar or not mainstream?
I'm not sure if it counts but the 100,000 point CSR
5) Share any other details you think might be fun about your churning efforts.
Between the churning and my "silly little workhorse timeshare" I will be able to travel for 9 weeks this year for a pretty modest cost. My travel group can run anywhere from 4-9.
